The motorway
section between Funder and Låsby is an approx. 29 km long sub-section of the
motorway between Aarhus and Herning.
On 28 April 2009, the Danish Parliament adopted a construction act for the
project, which had a total investment budget of BDKK 6.2.
The section between Hårup and Låsby was opened for traffic on 1 December
2014. The section between Funder and Hårup was opened for
traffic 11 September 2016.
Why this construction?
The motorway between Funder and Låsby improves both accessibility, road
safety as well as the environment in relation to the current national road.
In addition to completing the motorway to Herning, the section close to Silkeborg
is creating a better and faster traffic flow in and around Silkeborg. For the road
users, the motorway save them an average of 12 minutes between Funder and
Låsby. Furthermore, traffic are significantly reduced on almost all roads in
the town of Silkeborg - as well as on many roads in the entire area between
Funder and Låsby. When the very busy roads are relieved, the safety level
increases for all road users.
What is the scope of this construction?
The motorway is now connected to the existing motorways at Funder and Låsby,
respectively.
The overall project has involved the construction of 29 kilometers of a 4-lane
motorway, 7 interchanges, 1 service area and 31 overpasses and underpasses of
intersecting roads and paths.
